Abstract
The dynamics of optical solitons with dispersion-management
propagating through optical fibers with damping and amplification is
studied. A multiple-scale perturbation expansion method is used
to analyze the nonlinear Schrödinger's equation that governs
the propagation of such solitons. In this paper we have considered both
polarization preserving as well as birefringent fibers. Finally, the case
of dense wavelength-division-multiplexed soliton system is
also considered.
